Termination
Because each differential pair of wires is a transmission line, you must 
properly terminate the line to prevent reflections. A common method of 
terminating a two-wire multidrop RS-485 network is to install terminating 
resistors at each end of the multidrop network. If you daisy-chained 
multiple instruments together, you need a terminating resistor at only the 
first and last instruments. The terminating resistor should match the 
characteristic impedance of the transmission line (typically 100 to 120
Ω). 
You can order an optional DB-9 RS-485 termination connector that 
contains embedded terminating resistors for easy termination from 
National Instruments. For ordering information, contact National 
Instruments.
Figure A-3 shows a multidrop network using terminating resistors.

Bias Resistors
A transmission line enters an indeterminate state if no nodes are 
transmitting on it. This indeterminate state can cause the receivers to 
receive invalid data bits from noise picked up on the cable. To prevent a line 
from receiving these data bits, force the transmission line into a known 
state. To do so, install two 620 
Ω bias resistors at one node on the 
transmission line; doing so creates a voltage divider that forces the voltage 
between the differential pair to be greater than 200 mV, the threshold 
voltage for the receiver. You should install these resistors on only one node.
Note
Bias resistors are not available on the eight-port PCI-485.
